Muhlbauer electrical components Germany Muhlbauer model Muhlbauer price

Muhlbauer electrical component is a current-limiting element. After connecting the resistor in the circuit, the resistance value is fixed, generally with two pins, and it can limit the current magnitude through the branch to which it is connected. A resistor whose resistance cannot be changed is called a fixed resistor. A resistor whose resistance can be changed is called a potentiometer or variable resistor. An ideal resistor is linear, meaning the instantaneous current through the resistor is proportional to the applied instantaneous voltage. Variable resistors used for voltage division. One or two movable metal contacts are pressed tightly against the exposed resistive body. The contact position determines the resistance between either end of the resistive body and the contact.
